Data protection

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the AURIGON Advisors AG. The AURIGON Advisors AG website can generally be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

3) Collection of general data and information

The website of the AURIGON Advisors AG collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the AURIGON Advisors AG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the AURIGON Advisors AG analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
This data is not merged with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, our overriding legitimate interest in a correct and trouble-free presentation of our website.

5) Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

c) Right to rectification

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

The personal data was processed unlawfully.

The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

An employee of AURIGON Advisors AG shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

An employees of the AURIGON Advisors AG will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to require the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.

The employee of the AURIGON Advisors AG will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

If AURIGON Advisors AG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to AURIGON Advisors AG to the processing for direct marketing purposes, AURIGON Advisors AG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by AURIGON Advisors AG for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, if the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

6) Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn

On this website, the controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the USA.

Each time you visit our website, which is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins may be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their LinkedIn account before accessing our website.

LinkedIn offers the option to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads and to manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable data protection provisions of LinkedIn may be retrieved under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy LinkedIn's cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
LinkedIn is used in the interest of our company's business networking with customers and business partners. This constitutes our overriding legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in the context of a balancing of interests.

7) Data protection provisions about the application and use of Xing

The data controller has integrated Xing components on this website. Xing is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile for themselves on Xing. Companies can, for example, create company profiles or publish job offers on Xing.

The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a representation of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. Further information about the Xing plug-ins may be accessed under https://dev.xing.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, Xing receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Xing, Xing recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Xing component and assigned by Xing to the respective Xing account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Xing buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Share" button, Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Xing always receives information via the Xing component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Xing at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Xing component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Xing is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their Xing account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection provisions published by Xing, which can be accessed at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Xing. Xing has also published data protection information for the XING share button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
Xing is used in the interest of our company's business networking with customers and business partners. This constitutes our overriding legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in the context of a balancing of interests.

8) Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information were to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

9) Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

10) Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

11) Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

This Privacy Policy has been generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the DGD - Your External DPO that was developed in cooperation with German Lawyers from WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE, Cologne.

12) Data recipients when data is passed on

Unless otherwise provided for in this data protection declaration, data that you provide to us will not be passed on to third parties. In particular, your data will not be passed on to third parties for their advertising purposes.

However, we use external service providers, e.g. IT service providers, to operate this website. The protection of your personal data has been contractually ensured with the service providers.

13) Data protection information for applicants

We attach great importance to data protection and therefore also to the protection of your personal data that we process as part of the application process. We need your data in order to check your suitability for the advertised position and to be able to carry out the application process. Without your data, we cannot carry out a proper application procedure or conclude an employment contract with you.

a) General information

The responsible body for data processing is

AURIGON Advisors AG
Alte Steinhauserstr. 1
CH - 6330 Cham/Zug
Switzerland

Phone: +41 41 561 3818
E-Mail: office@lrc-aurigon.ch
Website: https://lrc-aurigon.ch

Your rights can be found above under point 5.

b) Categories and sources of data

As a rule, we receive your personal data directly from you when you send us your application documents by e-mail. The personal data includes in particular

personal details, e.g. surname, first name, date of birth, gender, marital status if applicable, nationality, address, e-mail address, telephone number;

professional qualifications and all other personal data contained in your CV, such as information about your professional and work history, education, language skills, the cover letter and any references, certificates and other evidence sent.

If you claim your travel expenses from us, we will reimburse your travel expenses on the basis of the cheapest public transport fare. To do this, we need to process your personal data such as e-mail address, address, name and bank details.

As soon as we make you an offer of employment, we process your personal data in order to draw up your employment contract. All contract-relevant data such as name, address, title if applicable, start of contract, end of contract, place of work, salary, bank details, social security number and health insurance will be processed for this purpose. In this context, we also process special categories of personal data such as your religious denomination.

c) Purposes of data processing

We process your data in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other open positions in our company) and to carry out the application process. The data processing includes checking the application documents, conducting video/telephone interviews and job interviews and deciding whether to accept or reject you.

Furthermore, in the event of an acceptance, we process your personal data for the creation and conclusion of your employment contract.

We may also process your data for travel expense accounting, as described above.

d) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, as the processing is necessary to carry out the application procedure and thus to initiate a contract.

For the processing of special categories of personal data, such as religious denomination, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Should the data be required for legal prosecution after completion of the application process, data processing may be carried out on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest in the context of a balancing of interests is then the assertion of or defense against claims. If you have consented to further storage of your personal data (e.g. in our applicant pool), this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

e) Forwarding of your data

Your application data will be reviewed by the HR department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications will then be forwarded internally to the responsible persons. In our company, only those persons have access to your data who need it for the proper course of the application process.

Other recipients of your data may include IT service providers or service providers for file destruction. We have concluded order processing contracts with the service providers who work for us as processors, which ensure that the processors handle your data in compliance with data protection regulations. We have obligated service providers who do not qualify as processors to maintain confidentiality.

h) Storage period

Applicants' data will be deleted after six months at the latest in the event of rejection. In the event that you have consented to your personal data being stored further, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after two years. If you have been accepted for employment as part of the application process, the data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our personnel management system and processed for the purposes of implementing the employment relationship.
